i book airfare and buy my rail pass through iace-usa.com. if you are going to travel between even tokyo--kyoto--tokyo it would make sense to get a rail pass. they've gone up in price but is a deal at $325. you can do away with it though if you stay in only one city. kyoto is my favorite city. i stay at gojo guesthouse: http://www.gojo-guest-house.com/gojo...se/gojo-e.html it is pretty cheap ($25 for a dorm room/$60 for a private room) and is near kiomizudera. it also very near a train station (but then again where isn't there a nearby train station in japan.

)

places to visit? hiroshima, osaka, nara, kyoto, tokyo. that will take you at least 2 weeks (remember you lose two days due to traveling there and back) and is probably too much to do in that amount of time, but is doable. i could personally never leave kyoto and would be quite happy.
